4.5 stars ✨ this was a great deal more serious and sad than I expected and yet, I loved it. this is the first dare book I've read in a long long while where I loved the love interest more than the lead too. penny was so sweet but hmm. there was just something about gabe. can't wait til I get the rest of the series from the library!

I was expecting a much deeper story, and I think it was my fault that I didn't get it. After reading numerous reviews proclaiming this as the best book in the saga, I had built up too many expectations.
It's not that it's bad, by any means; in fact, I found it to be incredibly funny. My favorite scene, of course, was when the three dukes helped deliver a baby goat—how could it not be? And now the protector wasn't just Ash but Chase joined in, and I loved them.
However, despite these enjoyable moments, it didn't surpass the first book in my ranking; actually, it’s at the bottom. I felt that the characters weren't as developed as Emma and Ash, each of whom had their own traumas to overcome. This book had the potential to be very emotional, but it focused more on the animals than on really addressing the difficult themes.
But it's still a good book. Hopefully, the author will give us the fourth someday.

This series just keeps getting better and better. I have been waiting for Penny’s turn since we met her in the first book. She’s always been my favorite character and this time she was the main character! Couldn’t ask for more than her and Gabe’s story.
